A recent change in ownership at this once-beloved restaurant has left diners divided. Many lament the decline in quality, pointing to unappetizing hard bread, diminished meat portions, and a disheveled environment marked by trash and rundown cars. The overwhelming scents of patchouli and cannabis have raised eyebrows, casting a shadow over the dining experience. Conversely, some patrons praise the innovative menu, affordable pricing, and excellent service, especially appreciating the delicious submarine sandwiches and unique options for varied dietary needs. Overall, this eatery finds itself at a crossroads, struggling to balance nostalgia with alarming transformations.

I had a feeling this restaurant wouldn't last after the new owner took over. Every time I visited, and I heard the same from others, the place reeked of patchouli oil. The staff, who seemed to be missing teeth, played loud rap music. The aroma of weed was overwhelming. The overall condition of the restaurant was appalling, with different bread and less meat compared to the previous owner's 35-year reign. Junk cars cluttered the parking lot and there was garbage everywhere. The list of complaints could go on and on, and it seems like everyone else knows what I'm talking about but is too scared to speak up.

Since the previous owner left, new management took over and it is now a disappointment. The bread is now hard and not as good as before. There are broken-down cars in the parking lot and trash scattered around. I tried ordering subs a few times and when I approached the window, the smell of patchouli oil overwhelmed me. I drove by recently and noticed that the place looked closed. I do not recommend going here and caution against trusting the fake four or five-star reviews.

I ordered a turkey bacon sub when they had their open sign turned off. They did have the lights on I walked up to the door. A Gentleman gladly greeted me said if you see the lights on we are here. I'm not going to let you leave hungry I highly recommendthem. They are keeping it original.
